Well, I had a lot of fun setting up my website. I found a webhosting service that lets you add all kinds of doo-dads to your site. Currently, if you go to some of the sidebar links, it will cause pop-ups to occur. However, I just paid for the premium service and in a day or two that should stop.

Of all the services offered, the ones I like the most are the mailing list and polls. I'm looking forward to getting a movie mailing list of my friends together so I can email them when a new showing is coming up. I like the polls because I can put up a new poll before a movie showing to let people vote on what they want to watch, and I can put up another poll afterwards so people can let me know what they thought about it.

It sounds like it's going to be fun. Once my website settles into shape I hope to get on a more normal posting schedule. I had a few folks drop by from one of the 16mm film forums today so, hopefully, this will be a great opportunity to meet some other collectors and exchange advice.

Planetside Screenshots

I realize that this post is going to cause some Web-Wiplash, but I think that is ok. For years I have held onto some old Planetside screenshots that I wanted to post online some day. After scouring an old hard drive yesterday these are the ones I came up with. Still, I know I am missing many of the screenshots I really wanted to keep. Especially ones from when the game was very early in development. I designed the entire client side game engine myself and I had a lot of fun during the development process. One of my regrets is that, in many respects, the final game did not look nearly as visually impressive as it did at certain points during development. There were a number of reasons for this. One was from a technology stand point. Most developers of an MMO game engine might assume it would be reasonable to stream data in as a player moved around the environment. That was certainly my original design. However, once the game got into heavy beta testing there was a strong push to get eve

Just now who's crazy?

Just a follow-up to yesterday's post about Dr. Steven Greer and his paranoid fantasies. One of Greer's most popular paranoid fantasies is that there is a secret cabal, comprising members of government, industry, and religious leaders, who suffer from eschatological delusions and are co-ordinating a massive world-wide effort to bring about the 'end-times'. Sound's pretty nuts doesn't it? I think so to. I don't buy into paranoid conspiracy theories because they are based, not on evidence but, rather, the *lack* of evidence. Dr. Greer's theories include the idea that 9-11 was actually executed by this secret cabal and that a missile, not an airplane, struck the Pentagon (I guess I should go tell the families of those poor folks who were on the plane that hit the Pentagon about that..) In fact, I find these kinds of bizarre paranoid conspiracy theories dangerous, destructive, and borderline treasonous. The Internet may be a powerful tool to spread truth
